She is preceded in death by her parents Edward Cass and Mary Elizabeth Haxton Jones; her husband, Albert Waddell; daughter, Sandy Waddell, and brother, Richard Jones.

Betty enjoyed life to its fullest. She bowled on Mondays, played Bunco on Tuesdays and Texas Hold'em on Thursdays. In her spare time she enjoyed the casinos and was also an active member of the Red Hats. But her greatest joys in life came from her family: being a mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother.
